We are the Beige Borg. You will be decolorized. We will not add your distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will become bland like us. Resistance is boring.
So this might make the borg less threatening, but I feel like it would infuriate these explorers. ‘What do you mean you don’t want to talk to us anymore’?
The sphere is the most efficient use of volume in space. Rectangles are only convenient for humans, and the Borg should not be concerned about convenience.
If the Borg were really about efficiency, they'd build spheres. But spheres are more boring, which comes back to my original point.
It's a lot easier to make a flat steel i-beam than it is to make a curved steel i-beam. Who knows what their manufacturing process is though. They probably just 3d print those things, or grow them out of nanobots, and then my point is moot.
Why am I so fascinated with it, it's so warm, makes me feel... Happy? I must study it more. The cravings of it are getting out of control, I have to make a golden cube sculpture. With anything around me. Even dirt. Praise the cube. Hail the cube.

I have no strong feelings about this one way or the other.

What makes a man turn neutral? Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality!?

It's like a genre mix of Star Trek and Minecraft.

I was thinking more 'cardboard box,' but an actual cardboard box didn't look right to me.

We are the bored. Your memes will be assimilated. Resistance is down voted.

It’s the 80’s. If you want something rendered in real time, this is the best you’re going to get. Be happy there’s a beveled edge.

The Central Bureaucracy. Resistance is futile. And so is compliance.

I feel as if spheres are more boring than cubes, especially in space. The universe is filled with spheres; not so many perfect cubes.
Anticorp@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Spherical spaceships are harder to build. The Borg are all about efficiency.

And the Boring are all about keeping the sides straight, but if they tell you why, it will take three hours and a lot of math.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Yeah, but the spheres are usually pretty interesting.
